Scientific paper

We plan to examine the dust morphology and model the opacity in the central disk regions of 100 normal and active galaxies in order to study pressure-driven waves that are predicted to dominate over density waves in certain cases. Such acoustic waves may provide a mechanism for the transport of material into active centers of nonbarred galaxies. Our sample will include Seyfert and normal nonbarred and barred galaxies so that the results for nonbarred Seyferts can be compared with others of the same Hubble type. We will measure the dust- interdust contrast and do radiative transfer models to estimate the dust densities, and we will compare the dust spiral pitch angles and number of arms versus radius to compare with model predictions.
